ABSTRACT
This chapter presents various standardization issues regarding the motor and controller. Testing of electric motors and controllers for electric vehicles is essential for commercialization. Various types of motors and controllers are adopted for the electric vehicle and hybrid, a test procedure that is unique compared with industrial application for the electric vehicle should be identified first. For motor/controller standards for electric vehicles, test methods for selected items are analyzed based on existing standards. Based on test methods for the power electronics equipment, test items applicable to the electric vehicle use are proposed. The technologies involved in electric vehicles are moving very quickly, particularly in the field of batteries, power electronics, and drive systems. With standardization of the electric road vehicle becoming an important issue, the question arises which body would be responsible for the generic standards. Standardization for road vehicles is limited to issues covered by regulation and to areas where interchangeability of components is important.
